What does Valentino Uomo (2014) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with a brief freshness from myrtle and bergamot; gianduja cream and coffee then take over the heart and turn it distinctly sweet. Cedar and white leather close it out, setting a powdery, creamy base of wood and leather.

Most voters recommend autumn and winter, while few pick summer. It is most often matched to evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though some also notice a feminine side. It has been discontinued. Parfums de Marly Althaïr and Comin Tuo have a close profile.
